Everything you need to know about how this happened is explained by the 2010 election. It was right after Obama got the ACA passed, something Democrats have tried to do since Truman first tried in 1945. He got this through during the short 72-day window of a 60 Dem Senate.
To pass it, he needed the vote of Lieberman, an independent who caucused with Dems. The only way Lieberman would vote for cloture was if there were no public option, so it was out.
Rather than punish Lieberman, Republicans who voted no, the left decided Dems must pay
And so the don't vote in 2010 campaign began. Promoted by Ed Schultz on his daily MSNBC program, by Michael Moore, and tacitly by Bernie who nodded through the whole don't vote rant from Schultz during an interview, and other leftie leaders, they handed Congress to Republicans
So, let's not go overboard with fulsome praise for Republican officials who obeyed the law. That is what they were supposed to do. That was their JOB.
Do we was poetic about the waiter who doesn't break any glassware during his shift? No, that's his job.
Get real.
These people were fine with a Muslim ban. They were fine with Trump grifting off the Secret Service. They were fine with delaying FEMA aid to blue states. They were fine with the federal government stealing medical equipment ordered by NY. They were fine with Trump's family
profiteering and the Trump Hotel in DC accepting blatant bribes. They were fine with every damn thing that monster did. But they did their job. Doing your job should earn you a C in life. That's the average we expect of people, to do their job.
And of course, Trump singled out Black women because the central contention of Republicans is that Black votes are ipso facto illegitimate. Any doubt anyone had on that issue was put to rest by the TX GOP platform calling for repeal of the Voting Rights Act.
You know they think Black votes are illegitimate because they questioned the vote counts in Milwaukee, not Apple Valley, in Detroit, not Battle Creek, in Atlanta, not Hiawassee. They challenged the votes where Black people live and vote.
They have such certainty that the Black vote is illegitimate because they have worked so hard to suppress it. If Black people are voting despite their voter purges, voter caging, well, then they are cheating.
Why is it these clowns never once address the fact that violent crime is higher in rural America? Take Oregon. So much wailing about violence in Portland, yet the most gun deaths per capita are happening outside the metro area. In fact, metro counties are the lowest counties.
There has been a sharp increase in homicides in Portland. It still does not come close to the murder rates in southern Republican states. wweek.com/news/2022/06/1…
Republicans keep saying "What about Chicago?" but Chicago ranks 28th in the murder rate in US cities, far behind Birmingham, AL; Dayton, OH; Kansas City, Memphis, Richmond, Miami Gardens, and Peoria. cbsnews.com/pictures/murde…
They are still trying. I can hear the damage done. Their battery is dying. But they persist in trying something that has not worked for over 40 minutes.
No I haven't moved right though some might think so because I didn't fall for the pied piper of Burlington. But then I wasn't fooled by Ralph Nader or Dennis Kucinich either. If a politician is promising things that aren't possible in today's climate climate, don't vote for them
Even when tethered to reality, it's hard to get anything through Congress. The last thing we need are people who promise the world in a handbasket. They disillusion people. Bernie remains popular because he's never had to deliver on his empty promises
But they are empty. He know he can't deliver but doesn't care because he's grifting. He never expected to do as well as he did, I hope he sent Putin a thank you card, but when he did well, he saw the potential of the permanent grift.
